The Department of Labor Cites Florida Health Facility $71,137 for Exposing Employees to Workplace Violence
US DOLs OSHA cites the operators of Bradenton based Suncoast Behavioral Health Center (Premier Behavioral Health Solutions of Florida Incorporated and UHS of Delaware Incorporated) for failing to protect employees from violence in the workplace.
OSHA responded to a complaint that employees were not adequately protected from violent mental health patients. OSHA cited Premier Behavioral Health Solutions of Florida Incorporated and UHS of Delaware Incorporated who are subsidiaries of Universal Health Services Incorporated, for failing to institute controls to prevent patients from verbal and physical threats of assault including kicks, bites and punches and also from using objects as weapons.
“This citation reflects a failure to effectively address numerous incidents over the past two years resulting in serious injuries to employees of the facility,” said Les Grove, OSHA Tampa Area Office Director.

"Over 200 employees throughout our offices are required to complete Blood borne Pathogen Certification annually.
